Successes and failures from others can help the information systems community to further develop and flourish. An effective means for conveying these experiences and lessons learned is through case studies. This collection of original case studies from different companies describes information technology experiences in both U.S. and non-U.S. organizations. Each case has been carefully structured to provide background information, project description, current status of the case/project, and successes and failures.
